Which ecosystem do you find most interesting?

Think about all of the animals and plants that live together as part of your favourite ecosystem.

Where does each species live, what do they eat and how do they survive? Hint: all of the information you need is within the enclosed Amazing Ecosystems book!

Draw your favourite ecosystem, and the animals and plants that live within it. Label as many species as you can.

Optional: add arrows to show which animals and plants are eaten by others. Think about how the food web of your chosen ecosystem works. See example below.
